HAART has side effects such as nausea, headache, weakness & fact accumulation on the back. If used for long time, results in heart attack, and increase the level of fat and glucose level in blood.
2. Antiviral medication such as erythyropoetin (epogen) and filgrastim(neupogen), used to stimulate cell growth, to treat anaemia and low white blood cells counts asociated with AIDS.
3. Medication to prevent infection such as pneumocystis jireoveci penumonia which is used to increase the CD4 T helper cells. This will increase the life span of the infected one.
